Bio

Sybil Gilchrist

TWB nominated me as the featured translator for December 2018. You may visit this link for more information:https://www.translatorswithoutborders.org/blog/from-teacher-to-translator-meet-sybil/ 

My experiences as an educator, knowledge of the French language, and a three-year stay in Africa have been the foundation for my current work as a freelance translator. Recent assignments have expanded from simply translating from French into English to incorporating transcriptions in French and English, subtitling, and proofreading. Over the past months, Clients and Project Managers of Translators Without Borders have been very pleased with how I applied these skills in completing several tasks involving audio and video interviews on important issues in Francophone Africa. In addition, I have completed tasks for Language Scientific and Language Connect after successfully passing their entrance exams. I am now a member of NLSC. I also proofread for local publications.
